For this top I took a scoop neck shirt and flipped it around to show off the contrasting sports bra. I also cut it as a crop top and wore a tight camisole underneath. I like how this flatters your bottom half by making the top loose.

The front of the top says "SUCK IT UP BUTTERCUP". I thought it was cute. If you like it too and have a Silhouette machine you can download the artwork get the Silhouette file here to make it yourself. I made it to fit an 8.5" x 11" piece of heat transfer material.

Take large thrift store shirt with a scoop neck. Turn inside out.

Make a line from an inch up from the armhole to the armpit.

Continue the line so that it continues down the side seam.

Cut and sew.

Draw a line from the middle back to the side seam.

Fold the back of the shirt in half (not the front). Cut. This will be your new front.

Draw a line on the other side slightly less sloping.

Fold the front of the shirt in half (not the back). Cut. This will be your new back.
